The TBATE manhwa by TurtleMe and Fuyuki23 is one of the most-read webtoons worldwide — and with the anime bringing millions of new fans in 2025–2026, readers everywhere want to experience it in their own language. MangaLens translates every speech bubble on MangaDex and Bato.to in real-time, no copy-paste required.
The Beginning After the End — universally known by fans as TBATE — began as a web novel by TurtleMe (Jason Cheung) on Royal Road, first published in 2018. The story follows King Grey, an all-powerful monarch who, at the height of his power and utterly alone in the world, finds himself reincarnated as Arthur Leywin, a child born into a vibrant new world where mana and magic govern everything. Carrying the full weight of his past life's knowledge, combat experience, and emotional scars, Arthur must learn to grow up all over again — this time with the chance to build genuine bonds and unravel the deeper truths of a world that is far more dangerous than it first appears.
The webtoon adaptation, illustrated by the artist Fuyuki23 and coloured by Issatsu, transformed the prose novel into a visually stunning full-colour manhwa in the Korean vertical-scroll format. Published digitally on Tapas and collected in print by Yen Press — who had released at least ten graphic novel volumes by early 2026 — TBATE became one of the landmark English-language manhwa titles. Its blend of detailed world-building, reincarnation themes, and emotionally driven character arcs attracted a global audience spanning dozens of languages. An anime television series produced by Studio A-Cat aired its first season from April to June 2025, drawing in millions of new viewers who then sought out the webtoon to continue past where the anime ended.
The second season of the TBATE anime premiered in April 2026, adding another surge of readers who want to experience the story as it develops — chapter by chapter — in whatever language they feel most at home in. MangaLens makes that possible: install the Chrome extension, open any TBATE chapter on a supported reader site, and translate every speech bubble into Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, or any of 65+ other languages without leaving the page.

The Beginning After the End was originally written in English, and the official manhwa is also published in English — making it one of the rare globally accessible webtoons from day one.
